Not sure what Lyman moulds you're using but you might slip over to NOE (shouldn't be too far from you) and check out the 30 XCB mould (310-165-FN). Here's 2 sighters and 10 for "record" I shot last week or so with my M1903A1 NM Type II. My XCBs...

I use a WFN 150 gr cast (old group buy C312-150-WFN) cast of COWWs +2% tin which is pretty much the same alloy as you're using. I use this bullet in both my Russian SKS and a Mini Mk X Mauser. Both have 20" barrels with 9 1/2" and 10" twists. I...

I used the same 10" test rifle with one of the 30 XCB loads used in that NOE thread at 500 yards. The results are listed in this thread.

Good on pirate69 for the idea and good on you for giving it a try.......:awesome:
I have a Lyman 2 cavity 314299 and a 4 cavity NOE 314202. Both cast excellent bullets of equal quality and accuracy. I mostly use the NOE because it casts more...

Such range flags have been used for well over 100 years. I believe they are still required during NRA High Power Matches. It really does not take much wind to move the flag. I use the wind calculation "cheat sheet" pictured when shooting. When...

The target backing (cardboard) is roughly 4' x 4'. Glued on to it is the old NRA High Power 600 yard "B" Decimal target repair center. The bull (black) is 24" in diameter, the "X" ring is 6", the 10 ring is 12", the 9 ring is 18", the 8 ring...

Actually it wasn't that much "uphill". It was less than 3 degrees uphill from the 600 yard shooting position to the target. The 1st picture in my post was taken at the base of the hill less than 50 yards horizontal distance from the...

Some lubes that prevent leading are also inhibiters of accuracy on some bullets, especially the harder ones. White Label's Red Carnauba is a proven lube with the bullets you're using but does, most often, also require a heater. I...

I also prefer to use cerosafe. When used correctly as per the instructions it works very well, better than the pound impressions I used to make. Nice thing is the cerosafe can be used over and over. It also is excellent to remove a separated case...

I never said you couldn't form cases that way or chamber a rifle that way, there's no reason you can't do it that way. Do it that way if you want. You ask on other threads and now on this thread (nothing to do with the topic of this thread...

The 308 CBC is made with a shortened .308W die. It has a case capacity slightly less than the 300 Savage but has the neck length of the 30-06. I built it years ago on a M93 Spanish action that I also converted to cock on opening. I used a...

Actually the BC is derived from a comparison of the TOF (Time Of Flights velocity retardation rate; computed or measured) of the bullet to the TOF retardation of the "standard projectile" (most often the "G1") by division. Most BCs we find these...

Itís the rifle started out life as a CZ24 in 7.9mm and sometime during the war was captured and refurbished in Russia or Rumania and used by the Rumanians. It was imported into the US and sold at Big 5 to a friend of mine. He wanted a Malcom scope...

I'm posting this not to cause any further consternation among some but simple because in another thread (now locked) I said I would post the results of my testing my 30x60 XCB rifle with the 30 XCB bullet at 2900 fps at 600 yards. This is simply...
